My p-doc is on maternity leave. She was like a T. I'm not a student right now so I can't see a T at the university health centre. I don't have money to see a T. I made an appt. with my family doctor for Weds. I want to see if she will give me a med to put me out of my misery.

That would be a silly thing for me to do. I would end up waiting something like 5 or more hours just to have a doctor tell me to make an appt. with my family doc or something. What can going to the hospital do? If I can wait in the hospital for so long without hurting myself, it really isn't an emergency then is it? I saw someone who had to be carried into the emergency department and he had to wait for hours. I wonder why this particular hospital makes people wait for so long...when I went to the hospital, I was seen really quickly and hooked up to monitors. I didn't see any monitors in the emergency room at this hospital. The whole set up was different...people weren't even on beds. There were no beds surrounding a central "hub" with doctors and nurses. Was I in a different part of the emergency department when I ODed?
> Now this will be easy to SAY and harder to DO, but here are things to do instead of SI or OD: Run, jog, bike. Go for a walk, walking hard, for 2-3 miles. Clean the house from top to bottom. Scrub the toilets, wash the windows, vaccum every corner, mop the floor, iron all the clothes. Get rid of your energy through work. Ask your MOm what you can do to help her out, then do it. Go grocery shopping. Shine the shoes.
When I call the Distress Centre, that is always what they tell me to do...they tell me to go exercise.
> You have a ton of negative energy stored up in you, and you need to get it out somehow. A lot of times, work and exercise are great ways to help drive down depression and anxiety, even if it's only temporary.
I will try to do some running today...or perhaps a more reasonable goal would be to just get out of the house.
Thank-you JenStar for helping
